    Atletico labour to third-place-clinching draw



    Days after Atletico Madrid were thumped out of this current season's Champions Class, Los Rojiblancos guaranteed they'll be in the draw for the 2017/18 bunch organizes by drawing 1-1 away at Genuine Betis, however they unquestionably didn't stamp their ticket in style. 

    Despite the fact that Stefan Savic could package the ball past Antonio Adan halfway during that time half to offset a Dani Ceballos ponder volley, Diego Simeone will have been disillusioned by the lazy way with which his players reacted to their midweek European misfortune. 

    Genuine Betis, then again, appeared revived by the sacking of Victor Sanchez del Amo and interval mentor Alexis Trujillo got rid of their back five to play a 4-3-3, which saw the home side rule the whole initial 45 minutes. 

    Ruben Castro got the ball out of the air with stunning control in the eleventh moment before bumping it through a hole in the meeting back line, just for Joaquin to surge his shot and swell the side netting. 

    The 35-year-old brought about additional worry for Simeone when he separated free the correct flank five minutes after the fact, yet his cross avoided Betis and Atleti players alike. 

    Unfazed, Los Verdiblancos kept up the weight and came much nearer when Ceballos - playing in a more assaulting part than he had been under Victor - struck the woodwork in the wake of jumping on Jan Oblak's leeway from a free-kick. 

    By the half hour check the home side had hit five shots at Oblak's objective to Los Colchoneros' lone exertion and Joaquin tried the Slovenian again before half-time with an unsafe free-kick. 

    It was business as usual after the interim and Jose Maria Gimenez must be as ready as he was aerobatic so as to remove a cross to Ruben Castro, who might have had a 54th moment tap-in. 

    Only three minutes after the fact, however, Los Verdiblancos at last led the pack their execution merited and it was an objective which will live long in the memory. 

    Saul Niguez took a ball off of the punishment region, however just to the extent Ceballos, who swung an effective right boot its direction, volleying capably past Oblak. 

    That incited something of a fightback from Atletico and they pulled level inside 10 minutes as a Koke free-kick was flicked on by Saul to Savic, who bumped home from only two or three yards out. 

    It wouldn't be an Atletico Madrid coordinate without a snapshot of enchantment from Oblak and he gave it in the 73rd moment with a twofold spare to keep his side on equivalent terms, the initial an unfathomable fingernail-extending paw away of Alvaro Cejudo's exertion, before he likewise hindered the bounce back from Ruben Castro. 


    In spite of the fact that Betis consumed ownership in the end organizes, Atletico could hang on in all out of options way and can appreciate one week from now's Estadio Vicente Calderon goodbye with the weight off.
